I did this exact same thing. And it worked perfectly!! THANKS for posting this. Amazing what you can learn on a cell phone. I've poured concrete my whole adult life and this method works great

That sure beats the time and expense of building a coffer dam t do it. Nice work. 👍

My grand father has a boat there and I remember when we would put in other boats it was really steep

Finally they added lane markers on the ramp. Should have gone all the way up into the lot though.

This is one way and a bit more convenient and less time consuming and less costly than a damn using sheet pile and pour-in-place

I am interested in how the grade is constructed to match the need pitch in the water. Any insight?

30 miles from me... it's at land between the lakes in western Kentucky

I am in Livingston county . I don’t know why I have this in my suggested videos but I have not been to that marina or across either dam since the 2009 ice storm. Next time I am in grand rivers I will have to check it all out.

@DrannonMoore00 2 жыл бұрын

I believe this is the ramp at Kentucky Dam Village. That's on the Western shore of Kentucky Lake, not Land Between the Lakes. LBL is the land between Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley.

@cjeam9199 3 жыл бұрын

Here in the U.K. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a slipway this wide that isn’t for like a ferry! Part of this is maybe because a lot more boats are stored on the water, so there’s less likely to be a huge rush, and hence queue, at the start or end of the day if you can only launch one or two boats side by side.

Comment on man youdoing it wrong,stated heavily reinforced,doing concrete work 45 years,half inch bar on large centers not to heavy

@williambiggs2308 6 жыл бұрын

Because sliding friction < static friction 3:15 Why are the grooves straight and not angled?

@thegreatga 6 жыл бұрын

So the water drains back into the lake, and doesn't grow slippery bacteria on the ramp.

@ryanpitre1593 6 жыл бұрын

They’re angled slightly it’s hard to see

Concrete can and is poured under water all the time. They say it actually cures better under water.

@Phantomthecat 6 жыл бұрын

Yes, traditionally a coffer dam would be build and pumped out, but this method worked very well. The old ramp was broken uo and used as a base for the new ramp - considering the loads on the ramp that far in the water are very low, I don't see an issue - it was heavily reinforced so it will stay together as one big slab for decades.
